In 2012 I moved to New York from Boston. To pass the time in a strange state I became an avid runner, logging 25+ miles per week and running half and full marathons. In late 2012 I tried my first Tough Mudder, I thought being a runner, a 13 mile obstacle course with elevation would be no big deal. I was wrong, I struggled mightily. I soon realized I needed more than just cardio every day. In 2013 I walked into CFONY looking for something more, and I will say, what I found was life changing.

I started off slow, weights were a new world to me, but I loved the challenge. After 3 months of WODing 4-5 times a week, the community at CFONY had hooked me. I began training intensely, logging 7-10 WOD’s per week (many times 2-3 WOD’s a day) plus extra lifting on the side. I bought a season pass for Spartan races in 2014…My top finish was 5th in my age group. Crushing a 12 mile, 30+ obstacle Spartan Beast in Vernon NJ. In total, I ran 15 Spartan races, 4 Tough Mudders and 3 Battle Frog races in 2014. I doubled those numbers in 2015. My success in the OCR circuit is 100% due to crossfit.

After an unfortunate knee injury in the spring of 2016 I took some time to rehab. With my spare time I got my Crossfit Level 1 Certification in March at Crossfit Garden City. I began to assist coaching the CFONY OnRamp program and In July I went for my Level 2 Certification at Reebok One in Boston MA. In October 2016 I began coaching regular classes at CFONY on Tuesday and Thursday nights from 5:30-8:30. I have also designed the CFONY 101 class and look forward to its launch in 2017. I have helped people of all ages, sizes and backgrounds to reach their fitness goals. Whether it’s weight loss, nutrition, skills or muscle gain… I enjoy each individual challenge and with patience and persistence we can achieve any goal, large or small!
